### What are Standups?

While [Check-ins](/docs/become-a-tability-power-user/features/check-ins/how-to-create-check-ins.md) are a great way to reflect on your work on a weekly basis, **Standups** gives you and your team to update eachother more frequently on what you're working on. Standups gives you a way to check in every day with your team about topics that are top of mind without having to do an in-person or video meeting. They can be filled out in just a few minutes and are a great way to update your entire team on what you're working on and flagging any challenges you might be having.

A typical Standup format:

* **What did you do yesterday?:** An overview of the tasks and events from the day before.
* **What are you doing today?:** An overview of what you're trying to accomplish, and what's on the agenda for today.
* **Blockers:** Listing out any blockers you may have or things you are waiting on. This is a great place to use an @ mention to flag any needs from other team members, without being too disruptive.

The Standups dashboard is the home to all the Standups from across your workspace. You can navigate to Standups dashboard by clicking the Standups button in the left-side navigation.

In the Standups dashboard you can:

* View all standups, ordered by publish date (newest to oldest)

3. Write your standup in the rich text field and click **Save** to publish. You can edit your Standups later if you'd like.
